One of the major difference between Yeastar MyPBX U-Series and the new S-Series VoIP PBX is the App Center. We built the App Center independent from the main framework of the system, to make the installation and management of Apps easy and flexible. In most cases, when you need a new App or an upgrade of the App, you can just operate on the App Center without worrying about the firmware version.
The S-Series VoIP PBX App Center gives users easy access to a wealth of powerful value-added features and capacity, including Linkus softphone, hotel app, billing, VPN server, call center integration app, etc. As an integral part of the S-Series Web interface, the App Center allows you to install, upgrade, and manage Apps designed for S-Series VoIP PBX.
